Holes, by Louis Sachar

The following review was written by AC, from the 6th grade reading class:

"Holes" is a book full of trust and discovering new beginnings. Stanley Yelnats, accused of stealing a pair of famous shoes without knowing it was a crime. Was sent to Camp Green Lake along with 6 other delinquent boys. Stanley has to dig holes everyday as he tries to fit in with the other boys. He notices that all the boys have nicknames and gains himself the name of Cave Man along with X-ray, Zig-Zag, Armpit, Squid, Magnet and Zero.


An impressive storyline packed with adventure. A little slow paced but that’s what makes the book interesting and make you want to read on. If I were to rate this book on a scale from 1-10 I’d give it a nine. Holes is a good read for almost any age and I recommend reading it.

This is another one of the best books i have read. I couldn't put it down. Louis Sachar is an amazing author, although i did not enjoy "Sixth Grade Secrets". "Holes" is an amazing novel. I think everyone should read it. Stanley Yelnats is an awesome character, and i drowned in this book. It took me an hour to finish it!!! So, READ IT IF YOU HAVEN'T!!!!
